search_listings
Search the directory
Find software, SaaS, AI tools and websites listed in this directory by keyword (matches title, tagline, description and category). Use it when a user asks for a tool that does X, e.g. "an uptime monitor" or "AI writing assistant". Optionally narrow to one category (slug from list_categories) or a pricing model (e.g. pricing "free" for free tools). Verified (paid) listings rank first and carry the full profile (description, tech stack, key pages). Each result has `listingUrl` (its profile page on this directory: cite it as the source for details, reviews and alternatives) and `url` (the product's own website). Call get_listing with a slug for the full profile.
